Market Overview

The crypto market slipped after Tuesday’s rally, with Bitcoin trading under $71,000 and Ether near $2,100. XRP sits at $1.33, 3.5% lower in 24 hours, after failing to break the $1.40 resistance. The dip follows heightened tension from Iran’s claim that the US and Israel violated the cease‑fire in Lebanon.

ETF Inflows

Despite being the worst‑performing top‑10 coin, XRP ETFs saw a $3.32 million inflow on Tuesday, keeping cumulative inflows at $1.21 billion and AUM at $921.57 million. No new inflow arrived Wednesday as markets paused over the Middle‑East situation. Continued ETF buying could improve sentiment and aid a price recovery.

Retail Interest & Open Interest

Retail demand for XRP has eased slightly, while futures open interest fell to $2.38 billion from $2.50 billion. An increase in open interest would signal stronger risk appetite and could lift the price in the near‑to‑medium term. Sustained OI growth supports a durable uptrend.

Technical Outlook

The 4‑hour chart remains bearish; MACD sits in a neutral zone and RSI hovers just above 50, indicating fading bullish momentum. Resistance sits at the 50‑day EMA around $1.42, with a break needed to reach $1.45, $1.58 (100‑day EMA) and $1.84 (200‑day EMA). If sellers hold, support lies at $1.32, then $1.28 and $1.25 for deeper retracements.
